You will need:-
1 cupcake
Butter cream
7.6mm round pastry cutter
Flesh coloured fondant
Claret coloured fondant
Ivory coloured fondant
Black coloured fondant
Edible glue or water and a paintbrush.
Icing sugar for dusting.
Rolling pin.
First take your cupcake.
Add a good amount of butter cream leaving around a 1cm gap all the way around to avoid the butter cream spilling out of the sides when you apply your fondant disk.
Roll out your flesh coloured fondant just larger than your pastry cutter and around 4mm thick.
Cut out a disk of fondant using the plain round edge of the cutter.
Place your fondant disk on top of your buttercream making sure it's central.
Using your fingers bring the edges of the fondant down to meet the top of your cupcake case.
Now roll out your claret coloured fondant around 2-3mm thin.
Using your pastry cutter cut a half circle out of your fondant.
And then using it again cut a small section out to make a cresent shape.
Attach the cresent shape to the top of your fondant dome with a little edible glue or water, this is the beginnings of his hat.
Taking a piece of your ivory coloured fondant roll it into a sausage shape just longer than the width of your cupcake.
Attach it to the base of his hat using a little edible glue or water and use your fingers to flatten it a little. I purposely flattened it un evenly to give it a little texture.
Using your claret fondant make a rough triangle shape with rounded edges around 2-3mm thin.
Using a little edible glue or water attach it to the left of his hat as shown.
Roll two small balls of black fondant and stick them on for his eyes, you may not need edible glue or water for this as black fondant tends to be very sticky anyway!
Flatten them down to a disk shape with your finger.
Add a teeny tiny ball of ivory fondant to each eye as shown, again you may not need edible glue or water for this.
Roll out your ivory fondant around 2mm thin and cut another cresent using your pastry cutter exactly the same way as I did for the claret coloured one for his hat.
Attach it to the base of your fondant dome on your cupcake with a litte edible glue or water, he now has his beard!
We wil now make his moustache! Roll two evenly sized balls out of your ivory fondant around 1cm big.
Roll both of them into a cone shape as shown.
Attach them to his face as shown with a little edible glue or water and flatten them a little.
Now we will make his nose! Roll a small ball of your flesh coloured fondant as shown.
Using a little edible glue or water attach it to the center of his face just overlapping his moustache and flatten it a little.
Finally roll a ball from your ivory fondant around 1-1.5 cm big and attach it yep you guessed it with a little edible glue or water to the tip of his hat.
You will then have one finished father christmas cupcake!
